Discovering new things and keeping your options open is a great way of living, but what do you do when you've tried a variety of things that you can't imagine yourself pursuing as a career?
A few years back, when I loved reading, I had so much fun writing short stories in school. Because of it, I wrote my own stories on Wattpad (don't try looking for them: they've all gone ^-^) Reading back on them, I realised what a laughing stock they were.
For about a week, I had a sudden urge to draw so I looked through the internet for inspiration and spent almost every minute drawing. It didn't start off too good but there were some subtle signs of improvement. However, people telling me to do more put me off so, me being stubborn, I decided to do the opposite and stop drawing as it wasn't as interesting anymore 😂
After that failed, I spent some time trying to learn how to play the guitar, until it didn't seem as exciting as I thought it would be, especially since I didn't seem to be going anywhere with it. The numbness in my fingertips was unpleasant and I wasn't willing to put up with it any longer. Surprisingly, there was even a time when making keyrings and bracelets was great for passing time in the holidays but that was only temporary as well.
So what happens when you don't seem to like anything with a passion? I tell myself I've tried everything there is, but the brutal reality tells me I haven't, so my only advice would be to keep your options open. Don't sit around waiting for things to come to you: it's a bore.
PS: I just read this blog on coming to the harsh realisation that you have no hobbies and you should definitely read it!
